From start to finish, we had a fantastic experience. Our itinerary included a culinary tour in Chengdu, then a visit to Tibet, and finally a flight to Shanghai. The organization and communication were flawless. We met friendly and knowledgeable people at every hotel and airport as planned. They truly took care of us and all the details. We booked private tours and transportation for the entire trip, and I highly recommend doing so. Our travel planner, Lucy, responded to all our questions promptly. All the guides were very friendly and took excellent care of us, especially Alex, who accompanied us for three days in Tibet with his driver, Don. If you're worried that organized tours mean following a flag-waving guide, this was completely different. It felt more like meeting friends who showed us around!

My fiancée and I traveled in China for 13 days, and everything went smoothly! We didn't encounter any problems. The tour guides and drivers were always punctual or even early, and there were no mishaps along the way.
I particularly want to thank our Xi'an guide, Eric. The other guides were great too, but Eric made our travel experience especially unforgettable.
He was energetic and sincerely showed us the most intimate parts of his country, places that were not only important to foreigners but also held special significance for him. He didn't just recite facts; he shared his childhood memories of growing up in each region and used analogies to help us better understand why ancient Chinese people had certain beliefs and why they built structures in specific ways.
When someone is passionate about their work, it makes all the difference, and I will always remember everything Eric showed and explained to us.
Thank you very much, Eric, for sharing your passion and appreciation for this country with us!

Every aspect of our China tour was perfect — from organizing the cities and attractions we would visit, to customizing unique short trips, to the logistics of moving from one city to another — everything was handled very professionally and smoothly.
We visited Beijing, Shanghai, and Zhangjiajie, and honestly, this trip was one of the best experiences our family of five has ever had.
Thanks to Stella! She didn't just arrange an itinerary; they made suggestions and customizations based on our likes/dislikes/interests (recommended attractions, hard-to-book restaurants, tours tailored to our interests — truly making it 'our' trip, showing they are indeed experts).
I give my highest recommendation to NCT!

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip to China, especially Beijing. The tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations. The accommodations reflected the local characteristics, very comfortable, with excellent service. The most outstanding part of the entire trip was the logistics. We were amazed to find someone meeting us at each stop and smoothly taking us to the next destination. Everything ran like clockwork. This is the best tour we have ever joined, and we are experienced travelers who have visited 40 countries. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. It was simply fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. We wouldn't hesitate to choose this company again.
